This scene evoked a sense of serenity within me and felt like an invitation to meditate. The gentle gradient of colors, transitioning from purple to pink, brought to mind the soothing hues of a Rothko painting. The presence of the moon casting its soft glow upon the ice sheet lent a surreal quality to the surroundings, as if I were immersed in a dreamlike state.
